Citizenship

At FedEx, we realize the interests of our communities, our workplaces, and the planet are intertwined. Our future depends on recognizing and balancing those needs in everything we do across our business.

Under FedEx Cares, FedEx invests in programs that stand to make life better for people in communities where we live and work. FedEx aims to deliver measurable, long-lasting impact in communities around the world by focusing our efforts on five key areas:

Delivering for good

Road safety

Sustainable transportation

Global entrepreneurship

Employment pathways

Our commitment

In FY16 we pledged to invest $200 million in more than 200 global communities by 2020. By the end of the fiscal year, FedEx Express reported $46 million in charitable contributions, benefitting 97 communities around the world.

Volunteering

As well as financial contributions and in-kind shipping, FedEx also engages its 400,000 team members in support of FedEx Cares. Volunteerism is a strong part of FedEx culture and the engagement of our workforce further strengthens our corporate efforts. In FY16, our team members volunteered more than 93,000 hours toward good causes in over 500 cities worldwide.

“We constantly challenge ourselves to tackle big problems, in our own backyard and on a global scale. Whether it’s helping small businesses expand market reach or investing in communities to help solve youth unemployment. Everything we do to support local economies goes back to our purpose — connecting people and possibilities."Neil Gibson, Vice President of Corporate Communications, FedEx Services
